Here is the voting result:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/62816810/SI%...ate%20list.pdf (30 kB).

So, please vote between:

Abstractions
Signs
Macro/Closeup
Pairs - Repetitions, echoes, series
Doors
Food

Three (3) votes per person. We'd love to wrap this up by Sun evening.
If the results are too spread we'll just use them as the next few
mandates.


I vote to eliminate "signs".

Could you just vote for the three, of above, that you like?

Pairs, Doors, Close-up

But, I'm losing interest. It was fun when several people commented on
all of the shots and you got to see what other people saw and thought
about your photo. Now, the thread dies after the results are posted.

Guilty as charged, but i do not accept full responsibility for the lack of
comments. For this past SI the only two providing meaningful comments were
Dudley, who did so with the help of some who could give him sighted
assistance, and PeterN who was unable to contribute in any other way.
The exchange Noons aimed at Alan could hardly be termed anything other
than a swipe at Alan.

In the past I have done my best to comment, and I am feeling a tad jaded.
I admit I find it odd that from the bunch of opinionated SI contributors,
opinionated non-contributors, and lurkers to be found in these
photo-groups, that there aren't more who would give us more than the
"Bruce" or "Noons" condemnation.
I also feel that piggy-backing on an other's comments is just shear
laziness and poor form. Responding to comments is also a welcome part of
the dialog which has been missing recently.

I will do my best to make a few appropriate comments for this upcoming SI,
provided I am not crushed into total dumbfounded silence by the quality,
or lack thereof of the submissions. I will do my best to respond to
others comments on my work without malice.

Whether I submit or not, the comments are my favorite part of the SI.

From the comments, I get the best overview of what others have contributed,
and lots of ideas for both subject matter and useful techniques to try.

Take Care,
Dudley
